Personal Narrative: Why I Wanted To Be The President Of The United States Of America

Decent Essays
While growing up I have always desired to me something different. When I was six, I wanted to be an entomologist, when I was nine, I wanted to be a pirate. However, I have always desired to be the president of the United States of America. When I was in elementary school the faculty in the front office even gave me the nickname, Mr. President. Unfortunately, with the way that time has affected american culture deterred me from wanting to be the president. I lost both heart and belief that I could. Recently, I have regained the desire to be the president, but still didn’t think that I would have a chance if I ever ran and also didn’t think that it was even in a realm of possibility for myself. I had already given up on my dream.

    My non-vote Presidential Election Being the first year that I can actually vote I was quite disappointed in the candidates that were chosen to be elected for the presidential role. During their speeches I heard many errors in the debates they were conversing about, found nothing interesting in the topics either contender chose to talk about and I slowly became impassive. I personally felt like Trump was only running for the presidential election because his dislike towards Barack Obama. Now many will disagree with me on this but think about it, the first thing he wanted to do when he won the presidential election was to remove Obamacare.…

    Visions are only unique as the individual themselves who make up this country. America is not the same as it was ten years ago. Who would have thought that we would have cell phones that were similar to a small computer in our pocket, a car that could talk back to us, or that we would have an African American president? Our visions for America could change everyday. My vision for America is very unique for my age group.…

    Little bit of Yankee, little bit of Ya’ll. Maybe a catchy t-shirt slogan, but not necessarily untrue. Having lived half my life in both New England and the South, I often feel like a combination of my two home experiences. This can be a little unsettling: up North, I’ve “turned Southern”, but down South, I’m definitely a Northerner. Though sometimes difficult, I’ve grown to like the alternate viewpoints I’ve gained living in different locations.…

    America’s Gift to My Generation would be education and schooling. Education and schooling is a gift because with children going through school only a few will become our next inventors and scientists. The education will help make our medical teams and technology better than it has ever been before. The schooling is based on how well students work in a classroom because I know I work better at a public school then being home schooled. But for one of my friends it’s the opposite.…

    I believe in America. Here, Freedom rings, opinions run rapid and we are brave. That being said, in an ideal world there would most definitely be room for improvement. This country is not what our founding fathers envisioned two hundred twenty eight years ago. My vision for America would be complete equality, complete acceptance, and for everyone to be grateful for what they have, instead of worrying about what they do not.…
